FFCCCII President Henry Lim Bon Liong is optimistic the PH economy will expand by 6.5% to 7.5% this year: As far as we are concerned, we feel the pulse of businessmen.
The local economy hit a full-year growth of 5.6% in 2021.
Liong says employment recovery will depend on the government: We should go back to Level 1. We used to debate whether it's economy or life. But if there's no economy, there's no more life also for us to discuss about.
Liong on businesses' operations online: When you shift to digital platforms, it's not overnight. But definitely, it will be the new normal in the future.

Cua: This year, the money or the wealth element is very strong.
Cua: Missing ang fire element, ang pagsusuot ng yellow will enhance your good fortune.
Cua: Walang resource element at wisdom element, so makakatulong ang pagsusuot ng golden yellow.
Sheryl Vy, Filipino-Chinese co-owner of Fifty Nine Flower Cafe: It's a unique concept that we got from Thailand.
Sheryl Vy: We decided to go into something unique, to venture into a coffee shop with a flower shop inside.
Sheryl Vy: This pandemic actually hit us hard. We have just started operating for a month when the first lockdown happened.
Sheryl Vy: We also focused on digital marketing, which was the main reason why we were able to cope up with the pandemic.
